We are so excited to celebrate the incredible achievement of Nurul Ain, whose short story has been published in Dewan Sastera, one of Malaysia’s most prestigious literary magazines! 
Nurul Ain was one of the mentees in our Malay Writers’ Residency 2025, where she was mentored by Prof. Madya Dr. Mawar Safei.
A passionate educator, editor, translator and writer, Nurul Ain currently teaches Malay part-time at inlingua School of Languages and lectures part-time at the National University of Singapore’s Centre for Language Studies. She also works as a freelance editor, copy editor, translator and writer for both Malay and English content.
Her short story, Cinta Antara Tinta, was featured in the July 2026 edition of Dewan Sastera, marking a wonderful milestone in her writing journey.
This remarkable achievement is not only a proud milestone for Nurul Ain, but also a promising start to our continued collaboration with SBC in nurturing new writers and growing Singapore’s local Malay literary arts scene. We hope her journey will inspire more aspiring writers to find their voice, tell their stories and pursue their passion for the literary arts. 
Congratulations, Nurul Ain, on this well-deserved achievement! We are incredibly proud to see your talent and passion for writing continue to flourish, and we look forward to seeing more of your work reach readers near and far.
